In Council 16^th Aug^t 1777.
Sir
We are and have for some Time past, been in great Want
of the Guns you contracted to make for the Public. Those
that have been proved, you'll deliver to Cap^t Walker; if more
are ready for proving, let Maj^r Smith know the Number, and
he will send some Body to prove them. We hope those at
least which were cast and not bored when the others were
proved, are now finished We are &^ca
M^r Sam^l Dorsey.
